At Robert Graham 1874, we’ve always believed that life’s finest moments deserve to be celebrated with the very best. This year, as we mark our 150th anniversary, we’re doing exactly that—with the launch of the Robert Graham 1874 150th Anniversary Cigar, a limited-edition masterpiece born of passion, tradition, and a touch of Nicaraguan magic.
Since 1874, Robert Graham has been at the heart of fine whisky and cigars, proudly serving connoisseurs across the UK and beyond. With three thriving stores in Edinburgh, Glasgow, and Cambridge, as well as an extensive online presence, we’ve built a community of like-minded enthusiasts who appreciate the craftsmanship and artistry that go into every bottle and every cigar.
This year, 2024, is a particularly special one for us. Reaching 150 years in business is a rare achievement, and we owe it all to the loyalty of our customers and the dedication of our team. We wanted to mark this occasion in a way that reflects not just our history but also our commitment to the future. The result is the Robert Graham 1874 150th Anniversary Cigar—a product that embodies everything we stand for: quality, authenticity, and the joy of sharing something truly special.
Our Managing Director, Stephen Johnstone, had a clear vision for this milestone release: it had to be nothing less than exceptional. Building on the success of our 145th Anniversary Cigar in 2019, Stephen partnered with none other than Juan Ignacio Martinez, Executive President of Joya de Nicaragua, to create something extraordinary.
"Whilst I'm no cigar maker, I do know a good cigar," says Johnstone. "I requested my favourite tobaccos of Nicaragua—rich, smoky, and complex. The team at Joya de Nicaragua delivered beyond my expectations, creating a medium to full-bodied Nicaraguan puro that’s perfect for celebration, no matter your level of experience."
The Robert Graham 1874 150th Anniversary Cigar is a true Nicaraguan puro, made entirely from tobaccos grown in the country’s most renowned regions:
This combination results in a cigar that’s medium to full-bodied, with a beautifully rich flavour and a complexity that evolves as you smoke. It’s a testament to the artistry of Joya de Nicaragua and their reputation as one of the world’s most respected cigar makers.
Limited to just 150 boxes, each containing 15 cigars, this release is as exclusive as it is exquisite. The presentation is nothing short of stunning—a nod to the elegance and sophistication that have defined Robert Graham 1874 for 150 years. Whether you choose to enjoy a single cigar or invest in a full box, you’ll be holding a piece of our history in your hands.
As much as this cigar is about celebrating our past, it’s also about celebrating the people who’ve been part of our journey. From our loyal customers to our incredible team and our trusted partners, Robert Graham 1874 wouldn’t be what it is today without you. This cigar is our way of saying thank you and inviting you to join us in marking this incredible milestone.
While we’re proud of our history, we’re also looking ahead. Our commitment to providing the finest cigars, whiskies, and experiences remains as strong as ever. The Robert Graham 1874 150th Anniversary Cigar is just the beginning of what promises to be an exciting chapter in our story.
So, here’s to 150 years of craftsmanship, community, and celebration. And here’s to the next 150.
